What Hawk pads are they? Did you PROPERLY bed the pads? The Hawk HP+ will still squeal on very light brake applications, even properly bedded.

You might try some of that anti-squeal compound between the pad and the caliper/piston, too. And make sure you have all the brake shims and related hardware (or if you do, try removing the shims). Brake squeal can be hard to fix, so you might have to try a few different things to find a solution.

i've got the hp+'s and the squeak like crazy. i've been told by several people who've ran them that it's a common problem. it only does it under light braking though, under a heavy load, they don't do anything other than slow down like crazy
